Well I don't have too much to talk about this week... Life has been pretty routine, which is a good thing, but I'm feeling like it has left me with a lack of material to post about.
I did start a new project though... I've been knitting for a couple months now and have accumulated about 10(ish) scarves for various people's holiday gifts this year. I think I have one for everyone who is going to be getting a gift from us... so I started on my first hat. It's for Gavin and he picked out the fabric. I'm trying to follow a pattern, which is new for me, so keep your fingers crossed it turns out Ok! I'm just not sure at this point ~ it might be way too small. I'll let you see it when it's done.
We're plugging along at our new location. The good news is that my weekly commute is almost over and I've only used 1/4th a tank of gas so far! My old location cost me about 3/4 a tank of gas a week, so this is a nice change. We're trying to get the phone to ring, which is tough since no one knows we are here, and it doesn't look likely that I'll meet my sales goal for the month. But we just keep keepin' on. And it helps to have some good music to listen to, so when my boss told me to go to this site, I clicked gladly. I've seen other sites like this, but this is the best I've come across personally. Happy listening!
I haven't spent a lot of time on this website but Shawn is pretty impressed. He shared with me the annual Treehugger Gift Guides. There are two: here and here. We are planning on doing the majority of our holiday shopping here... because a) it's easier to not have to battle the crowds and b) it'll be another way we can be green. I haven't spent a lot of time on this website but Shawn has... and is pretty impressed. Happy shopping :)
Oh and this one's not for clicking... But last week when Shawn and I were shopping, we went by Victoria's Secret (only because I had a coupon for free skivvies) ~ they are giving out Secret Santa gift cards which have a value of $10~$500. You get the card if you make a purchase and then have to return after December 1st to see what the value of your gift card is. I'm hoping for the $500... but I like to dream big. :)
Think that's enough fun for one day... Have a great day, kids!

I knitted scarves for Christmas gifts one year. Another year I was a bit insane: I made blankets for all my nieces and nephews. I finished the last one about twenty minutes before the Christmas party!!
Off topic, but I LOVE the Obama '08 family photo! Whoo hoo!

I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of those scarves/hats. =)
Have a good one!
Saweeeeet idea! I so can't wait to see photos of the end result Amy!
